Posledná dácka princezná
Príbeh plný napätia je vsadený do precízne a nesmierne živo vykreslených kulís rímskeho impéria v časoch cisárov Domiciána a Trajána. Rozprávačom a jedným z hlavných aktérov je grécky kupec a Domiciánov zved Dion Kassius, ktorý na cisárov povel vykonáva výzvedno-diplomatickú misiu u Dákov na území dnešného Rumunska a Moldavska a cez zložitý reťazec životných úderov a prekvapivých zvratov sa prepracúva k základom samého seba. Drsná džungľa plytkých vzťahov vo vyšších vrstvách rímskej spoločnosti kontrastuje jednak so svetom podivuhodne vyspelých dáckych „barbarov“, jednak s duchovnou silou ranokresťanskej komunity...

Oveček vlku se zachtělo
Temná atmosféra severských thrillerů, záhadné vraždy a nečekaný motiv
Zkušený kriminalista Patrik se za celou svou kariéru nesetkal s tak hrozivou brutalitou: v budově určené k demolici je objevena mrtvá dospívající dívka navlečená do ovčí kůže a celý výjev završuje kresba vlka krví na zdi. Bizarnost celé situace podtrhuje rýmovaná říkanka o vlku a ovečce pod jazykem oběti. Když je o něco později nalezen zavražděný dospívající chlapec a posléze ještě žena středního věku – vždy v ovčí kůži, s nápisem na zdi a říkankou pod jazykem v ústech, je jasné, že vyšetřovatel má co do činění se sériovým vrahem. Podaří se mu dopadnout pachatele dřív, než zaútočí znovu?
Dialóg dvoch exilov
Po komunistickom prevrate v roku 1948 emigrovali na Západ tisícky demokraticky orientovaných Slovákov vytvárajúcich spolu s Čechmi v poradí už tretí – tentoraz protikomunistický – československý zahraničný odboj. Zo slovenskej strany ho v 70. a 80. rokoch 20. storočia viedol niekdajší politik Demokratickej strany Martin Kvetko.
Po auguste 1968 utiekli z dôvodu okupácie Československa vojskami Varšavskej zmluvy ďalšie desaťtisíce Čechov a Slovákov, často už aj reformných komunistov. Na Západe vytvorili nové štruktúry odporu voči domácej konzervatívnej prosovietskej komunistickej totalite. Významné miesto v nich zastával historik Vilém Prečan, ktorý organizoval distribúciu informačných materiálov medzi domácim disentom a československým exilom, resp. demokratickými médiami na Západe. Stal sa známy najmä ako exilový „dvorný archivár“ aktivít Charty 77, resp. disidentských iniciatív z Československa.
Prečanove neutíchajúce aktivity na poli historiografie, upozorňujúce demokratický Západ na represie komunistického režimu voči kriticky uvažujúcim historikom v Československu, prirodzene upútali pozornosť Martina Kvetka. Témami korešpondencie Prečana a Kvetka boli spočiatku osud proskribovaného historika odboja Jozefa Jablonického a viaceré otázky slovenských dejín 20. storočia. Tie Kvetko vnímal ako ich priamy účastník a aktívny tvorca (odbojový činiteľ, povojnový povereník), zatiaľ čo Prečan patril medzi najvýznamnejších spracovateľov týchto tém (jeho dva zväzky dokumentov o Slovenskom národnom povstaní sú dodnes neprekonané). Listová komunikácia exulantov taktiež poodhaľuje zákulisie mnohých aspektov života protikomunistickej emigrácie i domáceho disentu. Dotýka sa nielen komplikovaných osobných vzťahov v exile či problematiky slovensko-českého súžitia, ale aj tém kontroverznej nemeckej či maďarskej otázky, o ktorých sa viedli ostré polemiky. Publikácia ponúka aj nahliadnutie do „kuchyne“ príprav exilových vydaní diel najvýznamnejších disidentov zo Slovenska – Milana Šimečku, Miroslava Kusého, Hany Ponickej a najmä Jablonického samizdatových štúdií.
George Whitefield
Neobyčejný životní příběh George Whitefielda a jeho blízkých přátel, mezi které patřili bratři John a Charles Weslyovi. Všichni bojovali nejprve za vlastní porozumění Božímu slovu, zvlášť evangeliu, a když byli z Boží milosti obráceni, kázali slovo všude tam, kam je Pán poslal. Jejich službu provázelo neobyčejné působení Ducha svatého projevující se až hromadným obracením hříšníků ke Kristu – Bůh konal své dílo s velikou mocí, jakou si v dnešní době ani nedovedeme představit.
Proč bychom se tedy měli začíst do životopisu George Whitefielda?
Za prvé je Whitefieldův život poutavým příběhem, který téměř nemá obdoby. Od svých 24 let, kdy vedl největší shromáždění, jaká kdy Amerika viděla, až do své smrti o 30 let později, naslouchal jeho hlasu celý anglicky mluvící svět. Vládne všeobecná shoda, že byl největším kazatelem 18. století a J. C. Ryle o jeho výjimečném kazatelském obdarování napsal: „Věřím, že žádný Angličan, ať už živý či mrtvý, se mu nikdy nevyrovná.“
Za druhé se kázání George Whitefielda stala proměňujícím vlivem historické epochy, která formovala dějiny Británie a Spojených států. Povstalo hnutí, při němž se probudilo dosud spící učení reformace. Zapomenuté pravdy kázané pod širým nebem pozvedly Anglii i jednotlivé americké kolonie, utvořily národní náboženské vědomí, prolomily náboženskou mrtvolnost Skotska a učinily z Walesu národ vychovaný na Bibli, a to vše bylo úzce spjato s působením Whitefielda. Z jeho věrné služby má dodnes užitek celý křesťanský svět.
Za třetí nám Whitefieldův život, který začal v době obrovské náboženské lhostejnosti a skepticismu, poskytuje neobyčejný studijní materiál k průběhu křesťanského probuzení, které je co do velikosti snad druhé hned po apoštolské éře. Skryté prameny velkého evangelikálního probuzení nespočívaly v lidech ani v době, kdy se odehrálo, ale z Boží milosti v novém vylití Ducha svatého do srdcí a myslí lidí. Proto i my v dnešním světě máme naději, že se zvěst evangelia o odpuštění hříchů a novém životu v Kristu Ježíši bude šířit, dokud trvá doba milosti.

D. Wright is one of the most astonishing writers of our time.

I defy anyone to guess the ending, let alone what Gaz has in store for us next.’ GRAHAM BARTLETT ‘G.D. Wright does it all. Emotional tension, pulse-pounding and gritty suspense that feels all too real. Against The Tide is a masterclass in crime writing and G.D. Wright simply gets better and better.’ NADINE MATHESON

Don't Brake My Heart
Love is a long game…Down-and-out after retiring from cycling to ‘get a real job’, Leesa Kubicka just wants to forget about her years on the elite team, the races she mostly lost. Just her luck, her first real assignment at the sports marketing agency where she’s building a career takes her right back to everything she wanted to leave behind: cycling, the Tour de France and Colin Gallagher, the immature joker who’d enjoyed riling her up with stupid pranks – the guy she’d nearly kissed back in September. Much to her mortification, her job is now to make content with him before and during the Tour de France. His pranks and flirting – and distractingly deep voice – don’t make her job any easier, but she’s determined to impress her boss and earn the contract extension her bank account desperately needs. Leesa has always been Colin’s Achilles heel: beautiful, funny and completely immune to his rough charm. But now she’s here to witness the moment that will make or break his young career and all he wants to do is act out with her. It’s his last chance to prove he’s not just the idiot she thinks he is before she’s gone from his life forever. It’s time for Colin Gallagher to finally grow up and prove he’s worth the support of his team and sponsors – and maybe even Leesa’s heart.

Handsome, dastardly, and (still relatively) young, Cyrus lives for villainy. But even Cyrus has to admit, keeping up a fearsome image is a lot of work. So, when that golden boy Maximillian offers a deal to fake a rivalry, Cyrus can't resist. A few staged battles, some public drama – it’s the perfect way to boost both their reputations. Sure, it means spending more time with his so-called ‘enemy’, but how hard could that be? Get to know him. Fight him. Maybe fall for him? Nope, that wasn’t supposed to happen.
